Wonderful customer service. There weren’t any tissues in the box. We were confused with the shower because it has two shower heads; we tried to work out how to use the rain head 😂. We love the view. The trams were only a 5-minute walk.The breakfast buffet was also good, with a nice view. The sun was in our face, but the wonderful staff blocked the sun with the curtain. We were extremely lucky because we arrived at 5:30pm and parked our car out front of the motel. Meter parking ends at 6pm on Friday. We left our car parked all day on Saturday because they don’t meter parking on the weekend. The pool was heated, with a beautiful view.

It was actually really great. The staff were lovely, rooms impeccably clean, beautiful interiors - breakfast sensational. It had a friendly vibe and yeah we just loved it. If anything, our room was slightly smaller in floor area to what we're otherwise used to, but that did not impact our 1-night stay - the pool was on the small side too and had limited moments of sunshine, but on a 40-degree Saturday at the ass.end of school holidays, this small limitation was not any kind of dealbreaker. I'd say again.
